[quote]What was the event? Was it for new season ticket holders?[/quote]
It was a Meet and Greet for Buddy Heild for existing STH who haven't renewed yet.
Another random thing, we saw Darren Erman in there and my ticket rep was talking to us about how he's either always working or going ou...

Little more from the event, I was there.
Dell said Quincy could either be back for all preseason games or miss up to 15 games to start the season. It all depends on how he reacts to today's workouts. He wasn't suppose to be able to go through them for another few weeks but he progressed quick...

[quote] Evans will not play another meaningful minute for this franchise ever again. People need to take him out of their rotations and projections. Either he never plays for them again, period. Or he plays in a couple of games in December and Jan to show teams he is okay. That's it. Only two possib...
re: Assuming Best Case for the new additions, what else does this team need?
Posted by sma19 on 7/11/16 at 10:44 am
I think it all depends on Heilds development. If he can be a good distributor then just the 3-D wing will be fine, but if he is a pure scorer that only gets a couple assists a game then we will for sure need that playmaking wing. Heres hoping that buddy blossoms....

Valentine would be incredibly lucky and I would love it. I'm A big fan of his passing abilities and think AD would benefit a lot.
Gary Payton II I like a lot, I think he can be a good bench type PG/wing defender like a Delly or Beverly type of player.
I'd take Plumlee too, all his brother...
re: How would you feel about trading our 2017 pick for another 1st this year?
Posted by sma19 on 6/21/16 at 8:58 am
Only problem I have with that is the fact that next years draft class has been talked about for the past 3 years. It's suppose to be absolutely stacked with talent. I'd do a 2018 first but 2017 would need to be a good haul for me to be ok with giving it up ...
re: Would you trade the #6 pick for Okafor?
Posted by sma19 on 5/27/16 at 11:37 pm
Imagine if Minny Traded #5 for Okafor. Put towns at the 4 on O and 5 on D and that could be a hell of a team. A good zag type of move if Thibs wanted to go that way.
Rubio
Lavine
Wiggins
Towns
Okafor
After a year or two of Thibs coaching, that lineup will frick the rest of the league in...
re: What are you guys actuall expecting from our rookie?
Posted by sma19 on 5/19/16 at 2:45 pm
Am I the only one who thinks, barring another catastrophic injury year, we could make the playoffs with Buddy or Dunn instead of Gordon and a no defense black hole on offense getting major minutes?
We have some solid young contributors in Frazier, BDJ and maybe Ennis to help our bench out. Plus...
re: Are Denzel Valentine or Luwawu in play?

re: So who do we Draft With the First Pick?
Posted by sma19 on 5/17/16 at 1:47 pm
Simmons hands down for me.
My logic is this
We have arguably the best finisher in the league. AD can hit shots from all over the floor in a variety of ways but struggles to create for himself. We would have the opportunity to put a 1B next to our 1A who's elite skill is passing.

I'm going Heild
I know a lot of people knock his athleticism and measurables but I truly think he will be a star player in this league. He has an already elite skill in shooting, he has a high basketball IQ and is a known leader. He builds a teams chemistry. He will work himself to the bone fo...
